The Deity of Christ is without a doubt one of the most fundamental cornerstone doctrines in the Bible. There are a multitude of doctrines and truths found in the Bible, but this matter of Jesus being God manifested in the flesh is absolutely essential. There are some things that people can agree to disagree on, but this doctrine is not one of them! John the Beloved was so passionate about the importance of this belief that he said it like this; "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." (1 John 4:3) He was not talking about whether Jesus had been born - that was never in question. The deity of Christ was what was being called into question. John had referred to this critical doctrine as early as the Gospel of John chapter 1 verse 1 and then again in verse 14. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, ) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14) Please read this book with an open heart if you doubt the deity of Christ!

After twenty-five years of ministry, it has been my observation that the doctrine of separation has become increasingly one of the least popular truths to be biblically expounded. This doctrine has not only been distorted but also avoided and, in some cases, abandoned. Preachers and teachers have allowed the fear of being labeled a "Pharisee" to prevent them from teaching their people the importance and the blessings of this doctrine. For years, I have made these truths a vital part of my preaching. From time to time, I have preached multiple messages over the space of several weeks on this very subject. This book is the result of a three-part series that I have preached several times down through the years. Without getting bogged down in the many specifics of biblical separation, I simply expounded and explained the principles pertaining to God's definition of separation. I am grateful to all of those who have assisted me with this tremendous effort of taking these messages from their original audio format and producing this much-needed resource material. The vision was to preserve the one-on-one feel in which it was delivered while trying to maintain some adherence to the rules of proper grammar and formal writing. I trust that this book will in some small way encourage God's people to pursue biblical separation in their lives and, in doing so, bring praise and glory to our Savior.

Millions of people worldwide from every religious background imaginable practice a phenomenon known as "speaking in tongues". Contrary to popular opinion, it is not practiced only by the Pentecostals, but also by Buddhists, Hindus, Wiccans, Muslims, Catholics and many others. Is it real or are they faking it? Is speaking in tongues even in the Bible? Is it something everyone can do? How do people do it? The questions that exists about the modern day tongues and healing movement are almost too numerous to answer. This book takes a bold, biblical look at these two issues and leaves no room for confusion in the heart of the honest reader.
